Interface MethodMonitorFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

MethodMonitorBase.MethodMonitorFactorySelfImpl, MethodMonitorFactoryBase

public interface MethodMonitorFactory

Since each MethodMonitor generally needs a reference to the class it is monitoring, we actually work with MethodMonitorFactory instances instead of simply using MethodMonitor.
